Standing ovations rarely mean much. First of all, most of the shows I see have everyone standing to begin with, so there is nowhere to go from the regular ovation. Secondly, clapping at the end of a set is so commonplace that a band will come back for an encore even if the reception isn't even that warm. When Joanna Newsom finished her 75 minute main set on Saturday night, the crowd erupted from their seats at the formal Orpheum Theater in Downtown Los Angeles to the kind of applause that is reserved for the movies. Someone had [...]
With all the activity swirling around Fleet Foxes the last year, it's easy to look at anything short of a major tour and multiple TV appearances as quiet times. But there has been a lot going on behind the scenes in the FF camp: On the website, you'll find all kinds of photos of the band as they've spent the past several months in-studio working on their second album. Lots of shots of analog tape machines, which should keep all the rock and roll Luddites happy. They also post a behind-the-scenes documentary from [...]
There aren't enough tour documentaries these days. Actually, let's rephrase that—there aren't enough good tour documentaries these days. A breath of fresh air appeared on Fleet Foxes' website earlier today, though, that made us want to rethink the nature of the tour doc and also join Robin Pecknold on his tour opening for Joanna Newsom. Robin's brother, Sean Pecknold , put together 14 minutes of black and white concert footage and behind the scenes shenanigans that make us want to leave the lives we're living and go on the road with Robin, [...]
Fleet Foxesin uutta levyä odotellessa kannattaa tutustua kuvakoosteeseen studiosessioista sekä katsoa 14 minuuttinen dokumentti Fleet Foxes -johtohahmo Robin Pecknoldin seikkailuista Joanna Newsomin lämppärinä viime kevään kiertueella. Takahuonetuokioiden ja yhden oman kappaleen (Blue Spotted Tail) lisäksi dokumentilla kuullaan useampi tulkinta perinteisistä kansanmusiikki/folk-kappaleist a (Look Down That Lonesome Road, Silver Dagger, Blues Run The Game). Koskettavaa ja ihailtavaa.
After it’s been all quiet on the Fleet Foxes front for the past few months (save for Robin Pecknold live videos and J. Tillman’s haunting new solo track ), their official site was just updated with lots of treats for fans anticipating the follow-up to their breakthrough debut. First off, the band posted a couple dozen pro-shot photos , such as the one above, taken this spring and summer during recording sessions for their second album. Aside from what looks like a remote laptop-recorded session in an abandoned building , the album appears [...]

Robin Pecknold, vía KEXP A pesar de que se encuentra trabajando en el siguiente disco de Fleet Foxes , Robin Pecknold ha aceptado la misión de abrir los conciertos de Joanna Newsom , que continúa en promoción de su Have on on me (Drag City, 2010). Estos aristócratas del folk ya habían trabajado juntos anteriormente, y parece que la química no se ha dispado, además, la gira será un pretexto inmejorable para que Pecknold ofrezca avances sobre el anhelado segundo disco de su banda.

Ever since Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon stopped touring behind his breakout record, For Emma, Forever Ago , he has been showering us with wonderful cover songs (not to mention a nice ditty for a certain teen vampire drama soundtrack ).

Video: Robin Pecknold Tour Documentary
Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes fame) released a behind-the-scenes documentary covering a recent solo tour opening for Joanna Newsom . Shot by Pecknold's brother Sean, the 14-minute B&W video is as mesmerizing as you'd expect, especially with some nice camera work. For folk fans, I haven't seen something this captivating since Jeff Tweedy 's behind the scenes footage .

Joanna Newsom reenlists Robin Pecknold for tour
Folk tours don't get much more sylvan than this. Might as well replace the auditorium seats with tree stumps. That's right, our favorite pastoral folks are rejoined for previously announced Pacific Coast dates. Robin Pecknold will once again open up for Joanna Newsom , and if its anything like their last outing together, you'll get a taste of the new Fleet Foxes album as well as one or two familiar ditties from Mr. Pecknold. Robin is otherwise busy in the studio working on the new Fleet Foxes album, which we suggest you [...]

CONCERT: Joanna Newsom at the Buskirk-Chumley 3/31/10
Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of seeing Joanna Newsom perform in Bloomington at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater (which is also where I saw this guy - I have a pretty good association with this place). She was, of course, fantastic. Opening was Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes ), who's not only incredibly talented in his own right, but pretty charming to boot. He only played seven songs, but I could have listened to the man for hours. When Newsom took the stage I was immediately surprised at how [...]
